NYC: JEFFERY & COLE PRESENT:POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE 2: EDITH HEAD'S REVENGE
After a sold-out run of their live show last summer, internet comedy duo Jeffery Self and Cole Escola are reuniting once again at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438 ) for 5 dates in July & August to conjure up the same magic that made their TV show, "Jeffery & Cole Casserole," a cult hit. Show dates are Thursday through Saturday, July 31st through August 2nd, at 9:30 pm; Thursday & Friday, August 7th & 8th at 9:30 pm. Their new live show, "Postcards from the Edge 2: Edith Head's Revenge" is a ridiculous long-form sketch piece inspired by the fact that Carrie Fisher lives next door to her mother, Debbie Reynolds, in a house that once belonged to the famous costume designer Edith Head. In the show, Jeffery and Cole play various characters and explore what might happen if the ghost of Edith Head were haunting Carrie Fisher and if Debbie Reynolds wore a lot of velour. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. Reserve athttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/749903
